Jonathan I. Hubbard

December 9, 1946 - April 1, 2014

Jon, 67, of Humble, Texas went to be with his Lord. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a man of integrity. Thank you, Jon for your total commitment to our community and the ACIA Board. You were appreciated and will be missed by all. We want to express our most sincere condolences to the Hubbard Family.

YARD OF THE MONTH

SLOW DOWN

MEN WORKING

The growing season is here and with it, the ACIA landscaping contractor will be mowing and trimming every week. The crews will be working diligently to mow and cleanup the medians. The cleanup requires the crew to work in the streets along with the autos. The main boulevards, Atascocita Shores Dr., Pinehurst Trail, and West Lake Houston Pkwy are very busy with fast moving cars. The landscaping crews have reported many near misses with motorists driving too fast. Residents are reminded to observe the speed limit and be aware of the landscaping crew working in the street. We don't want another tragedy in our neighborhood.

for a beautiful yard.

CORRECTION: The correct total number of lots in the ACIA is 2,496 rather than over 2700 as previously reported in the editor's comments last month.

Development Plan

The ACIA board of trustees is seeking funding from Harris County MUD 132 for construction of additional amenities for the Shores and Pinehurst recreation areas. Items include pavilions, ADA compliant walkways, a jogging path, children's playground equipment, irrigation, and additional landscaping. All plans are contingent upon MUD approval and approval is not guaranteed. Items receiving approval would be acquired over a period of several years. A special "thanks" to all residents that participated in the Recreation Survey posted on the ACIA website. Your contribution was invaluable.

Fishing in the Park

In the month of March many of our neighbors have been fishing at Shores Park and enjoying the benefits of living on or near Lake Houston. Speaking to more than a few, while being at the park during repairs, it was impressive to see how many good size fish they were taking home and surprising on how many neighbors fish at the park. For those of you that don't know, Shores Park is located at 8810 Pine Shores Dr. and has a small canal to Lake Houston. It also has a small fishing pier that has been getting a lot of use and others fishing off the bank. The Fishing pier is located at the back of the park east of the tennis courts and on your left as walking toward the lake. The only thing you need to enjoy the fishing is a license, so check it out and have fun.

Dog Waste Stations

Pet waste stations have been purchased for the Shores and Pinehurst Parks. Many residents walk their dogs around the neighborhood and in our local parks. These dog waste stations help solve the problem of dog waste cleanup. The waste stations will be installed in conspicuous spots to easily be seen. Residents are asked to be conscientious about cleaning their dog waste. Let's ensure our parks are kept clean for everyone to enjoy.

ACIA Board of Trustees

Homeowner Dues

Approximately 15% of 2014 assessments have not been collected. Since the majority of your assessment pays for essential services such as security, solid waste, street lights, landscaping, etc. Unfortunately we have no choice but to proceed thru legal channels to collect these funds. If you are delinquent, please contact Sterling Association Services, Inc. 562 Kingwood Drive, Suite 13, Kingwood, Texas 77339, 832-678-4500., payment plans are available. Our management firm also accepts credit card payment.
